Sandstone Feet


ian cameron

A big hairy sandstone foot sinks into the sand at Cumminston in Moray, Scotland. The tidal action causing irritating pebbles to seek out the nooks and crannies between its toes. The colour is not exaggerated / enhanced in photoshop, it truly is this colour, (velvia colour), the toes being warmed by a setting sun.Pentax 67II, 55-100 zoom, polariser, F16 at 1/4 sec, Velvia.Please take a look at some new images recently uploaded to Transient Light and Timecatcher.

A big hairy sandstone foot at a Moray beach, Scotland squidging in

wet sand and getting those annoying little stones between its toes!!

Well that's what I thought of when I saw it.

Wonderful soft undulating light and color. Beautifully composed. A nicely seen natural abstract.

Really interesting results in terms of like and dislike with this shot. A variance of four grades. Mind you since I always get two 3,3s or 4,4s (I suspect from the same person(s)), I should probably discount these.

Hello Ian, this is very nice. Original pov.

I like the combination of the colours of the sand and the vegetation.

The ondulations makes this image lovely and soft, in a good sense of the meaning.

Reading about your transiant light in your website, I wonder how you would call this light with this amount of shadows.

 

Very well done! Cheers, Yannik.

Well here's the thing with light whilst I agree the sun shone for the majority of the day. The window available is once again remarkably brief as the sun cannot get into this point very easily, being sandwiched against the cliff face. I refer to transient light as lasting seconds to minutes this would be definitely be in the latter category, but as with all photographs the best time to take the shot inevitably falls within quite a narrow window of opportunity and in this particular case is defined by the length of the shadows which lend the rocks 3 dimensional form.
